December 05: Feedback from newspaper readers

December 04, 2013

Missing stocks

•Adam, Smithfield: I went to Your Money section as I do every Sunday, and you completely omitted the NY stock exchange. I looked through it several times. I went to the front page and looked at the bottom to see if had a separate listing for stocks, and I noticed you didn't even have a business listing. I hope this was an omission. I have a bachelor's degree. I have a master's degree. Not everyone on the planet is on the Internet.

Editor: Early holiday deadlines prevented the markets summary, mutual fund listings and local bank rates from making the pre-printed Your Money section. There was a note to readers on the section front which I'm afraid was easily overlooked judging by the number of calls and e-mails from readers. The financial roundup will return on Sunday.

Missing Blondie

•Thomas, Yorktown: I'm concerned. You eliminated Blondie from the comic section today, and also there was no financial report in the money section about how the stock market did this week. Is this going to be a new trend, or was this just a mistake?

Editor: The double dose of Peanuts which bumped Blondie in Sunday's comics was a mistake by the vendor who provides the comics pages. They've been made aware of the error and will return to the usual lineup for the next production cycle.

Lottery

I'm calling in reference to the lottery numbers. I think there's in error and I'd like to get the correct numbers.

Editor: Sorry for the omission of Tuesday's numbers in the Wednesday paper. You'll see those results today.
